I hear you, Lucinda. I was nodding my head as I read, with a lump in my throat, until the shot at Biden and the promo of Bernie. Then all I could think was, "Augh...! you just couldn't help yourself, could you? You HAD to go there?"

He did not need to inject them into this reverent moment.

Nice. President Carter was a humble gentleman who didn't flout his considerable intellect.
